In the TV Series 'Mordicus has failed again spending too much time restoring his sytem" I have recently installed a badly designed .deb package which has automatically removed more than 250 packages on my system...

I've clicked on "Yes" install it a bit too fast, without having noticed the advertisment 268 packages will be removed if you say Yes.

Then, I thought, hum... I think I still have my USB Key formatted with the last Mint installation to re-install all this. Then I thought, it will be stupid to re-install all the sytem, a better way should exist. Looking at Google my friend, and it goes.

Debian based distributions are robust, entering the following lines in a console will save the list of removed packages.
